FWIW, I suspect that we are looking at that from the wrong POV. If that's about "who ought to be Cc'd on the issues dealing with <list of pathnames>", why does it have to be tied to "who is maintainer for <pathname>"? I'm not suggesting something like [email protected] with something like majordomo allowing to add yourself to those, but something less extreme in that direction might be worth thinking about... Hell, even simple $ finger fs/minix/[email protected] with majordomo-like interface for adding yourself to such lists might solve most of those problems... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
